industry though. The companies who haven't wanted my money over the
past week include:
bike-paint.co.uk who I emailed about candy red paint for the Raptor[1],
but haven't replied.
JHS Racing, who I emailed about which of the well-known TLS mods I
should do before booking in for a PCIII dyno setup, but haven't replied.
Wyldes, who appear to have forgotten to add Flowliner tank sealer kits
to their online ordering, even though the Flowliner website takes you
to the Wyldes website to order it.
So somebody else will be getting the paint order (don't know who yet),
PDQ will be getting the dyno work, & Frosts will be getting an order
for POR15.

It's not listed on their site, but I'll drop 'em a line & ask.
I'm wondering now if JHS lurk (or someone tipped them off), as they've
just replied. Unfortunately they've completely ignored the whole point
of my email, which was to ask which if any of the mods I should do[1],
& just said 'yes we can do a custom map'. No shit, Sherlock!
[1] I only asked as they're self-proclaimed experts on the Suzuki
V-twin engines.

And now bike-paint.co.uk have replied! So the moral to this story
appears to be if you email a bike parts/services supplier, follow it up
with a post here to ensure a reply.

I probably will for any big jobs, but I'm just after a touch-up stick

Speaking of pink, how's the flesh tone after the weekend?

Purple in my case.
My elbow looks as if it's got a golf ball attached to it and is rather
badly bruised. I might have to go to the local walk in medical centre
and have it looked at if things don't improve over the next couple of
days. My left ankle also has a degree of bruising but doesn't ache as
much as my elbow so I suppose I should be thankful for small mercies.
I wouldn't mind so much if I'd been pissed when I launched myself off

I've jumped off that on a few occasions and every time I've expected my
ankle or knee to give way on landing.
Incidentally, are you around any particular weekends over the next
month? I'm going to do the unthinkable and book a tunnel crossing and a
night in a hotel somewhere between Brussels and Leuven. Shocker!

Somewhere between Brussels and Leuven sounds disturbingly like my house.

For a habitual shade dweller, there was a distinct shortage of that
particular commodity over the weekend. Half-drowning any possible
areas that might become exposed in the highest factor sunblock
available locally (SPF 30, for seventeen fucking euros) succeeded in
keeping what might have become an all-over purple tragedy down to a
dull roar. Backs of the hands are a bit tender, but now I've had six
showers they're nearly as pale as the rest of me - however, there's a
certain amount of scalp irritation due to not wearing a hat.
I assume you, as a veteran Chimaygoer and almost local, got away with
it? You were certainly better prepared for the conditions than I was.
I'm still rehydrating, mind - I really have no idea how much Bleu I got
through, but it didn't reappear from the usual place.

You've got it in one.
I used my normal technique of putting both hands on top of the wall

my elbow.

Get it from someone who supplies "House of Kolor" paints. I've just painted
a Gibson Explorer in candy red with added sparkley flakes. Looks fucking
gash, but that's just my opinion.

They've been absolutely brilliant with the kits I've ordered off them
(multiple times). Not a single hiccup. Must be having a bad hair day or

If it's a candy, then a code might be like tracking down Bigfoot, because
the colour changes with every coat applied. You'd probably do yourself no
harm in going to a paint supplier with an example (tank, or a panel) and see
if they can match it with either their colour maps or one of those (shitty)
electronic bullshit meters. Then get them to make up a quantity or check out
the ebay for aerosols in the colour you need. My guessing though is that
nothing short of a full hit will get it looking like new again.
Depending on how much of what colour you need, there's always people like
his
I'd ask for a picture to be posted somewhere, but the colours never stack up
against the real thing.

I've long ago discovered that, if you're waiting for someone to arrive
and they're late, the way to get them to turn up instantly is to put the
kettle on.
There's a sort of sub-clause which says that if you open a bottle of
ale, WUN will magically materialise.

It's much the same as if you've been waiting for your meal to be

magically appears.

I was going to say the same. It's not unknown for me to light one up,
even though I don't really smoke these days, just to get the food to

Yerss, something like that. But IIRC there were only three left in the
packet, so that's about 1 per bottle of wine, which isn't too bad a
ratio.

Just had a reply from Wyldes - "The flowliner Tank Sealant has been
taken off the website due to the ethanol in the fuels."
Which is quite interesting. I did find a few horror stories about
Flowliner cracking & lifting, but not a single complaint about POR-15,
so I think I'm quite glad I went with the latter now.
